When an onion is heated, the chemical reaction that occurs is caramelization. This reaction involves the breakdown of sugars in the onion due to heat, resulting in the browning and sweetening of the onion. Additionally, when onion is heated, sulfur compounds are released, giving it its distinct aroma and flavor.

Which chemical makes an onion pungent?
The chemical that makes onions pungent is called syn-propanethial-S-oxide. When an onion is cut or crushed, enzymes react with sulfur compounds in the onion to produce this compound, which then stimulates our eyes to tear up and gives onions their characteristic smell and taste.
What temperature does onion skin weathering occur?
Onion skin weathering, also known as exfoliation, typically occurs in areas with a large diurnal temperature range, such as deserts. This process happens when rocks heat up during the day and cool down at night, causing layers to expand and contract, eventually leading to the outer layers peeling off like the layers of an onion.
Where is an onion cell found?
Typically on an onion.
Why the chloroplasts is not present in the onion cell?
You can't see chloroplasts in an onion skin cell since the onion was underground. When the onion is underground, the sun can't reach the onion so the onion skin cells can't make glucose. The onion does have chloroplasts in its cells at the top of the onion. That's where he sunlight can reach the onion.
What happens to onion cells in freshwater?
they will disintegrate and soon the onion will peel and the onion part will BE NO MORE
Is cooking any onion a chemical reaction or physical?
Cooking an onion involves both chemical and physical changes. The heat causes physical changes such as softening and browning of the onion as well as chemical changes such as the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler compounds, resulting in new flavors and aromas.
What is the chemical formula for onion powder?
there isn't one, for onion powder is a powder
Where else in an onion plant does mitosis occur?
in the shell
What in onoins make you cry?
Onions, like other plants, are made of cells. The cells are divided into two sections separated by a membrane. One side of the membrane contains an enzyme which helps chemical processes occur in your body. The other side of the membrane contains molecules that contain sulfur. When you cut an onion, the contents on each side of the membrane mix and cause a chemical reaction. This reaction produces molecules such as ethylsufine which make your eyes water. To prevent crying when you cut an onion, cut it under a running tap of cold water. The sulfur compounds dissolve in water and are rinsed down the sink before they reach your eyes. You can also put the onion in the freezer for ten minutes before you cut it. Cold temperatures slow down the reaction between the enzyme and the sulfur compounds so fewer of the burning molecules will reach your eyes.
Why you need to heat onion root tips during mitosis?
Heating onion root tips during mitosis allows for the cells to be fixed and stained, making it easier to observe and study the different stages of cell division under a microscope. The heat helps to stop any ongoing cellular processes that may impact the accuracy of the observations.
Is cutting an onion a physical change or chemical?
X
Is slicing an onion a chemical change or a physical change?
Chopping an onion is considered to be a physical process. Chopping an onion is not a chemical process because it does not change the chemical composition.
When Olimar dies why do the Pikmin feed him to the Onion?
That is just their natural reaction.
Can you charge an iPod with an onion and Gatorade?
No, you cant charge an ipod with an onion and gatorade. Mythbusters, and even ABC news tried it, but it didnt work. Inside a USB connector are all made of the same metal, copper, so no electrochemical reaction would occur and no current would be produced in the first place.
Why do purple onions make us cry?
It's not just purple onions. There is a chemical inside of onions that, when you slice an onion, are released into the air. This causes a slight chemical reaction in your eyes, causing a burning sensation. To combat the burning, your eyes tear, causing you to "cry."
If you tear my skin i won't cry but you will?
The answer to this riddle is an onion. When an onion's skin is torn, it releases a chemical irritant that can cause tearing of the eyes.
What two factors would cause mitosis to occur in an onion plant?
Water and light
